The power of one shot is so great!

"Ahem, ahem—"

Next to the 220mm caliber Krupp cannon in the middle fort of Monk Island, Huang Jianxing, who was lying on the ground, was stimulated by the yellow smoke and coughed, tears flowing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He stood up in horror to inspect the turret, but fortunately only an old 120mm retreat gun had been devastated, and the rest of the guns had not been too damaged.

However, in this round of salvo fire from the Japanese fleet, at least ten people in the artillery battalion were shot and killed, and several wounded soldiers who were shot were screaming all over the snow covered in blood.

It's frightening to listen to.

One of the soldiers, with flames on his body, was rolling on the snow and screaming, and several soldiers around him were covering him with snow.

"Each artillery position quickly reported the casualties, rescued the wounded, and the rest fired back at me!"

Hearing Huang Jianxing's roar, the soldiers of the rest of the batteries all stood up coughing and frightened, and ran to their running positions to aim and fire.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

In the poisonous smoke that still did not dissipate, the artillery of the middle fort on Monk Island suddenly roared in unison, smashing into the Oriental fleet that was slowly cruising in Dalian Bay.

"Paralyzed, so ruthless; It's just a salvo! ”

On the top of the old dragon island fort, Mao Chao and Cheng Moyi looked at the middle fort of the monk island on the opposite side, which was like a ghost domain, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Cheng Moyi yelled and shouted: "All artillery positions, immediately open fire, aim and shoot!" ”

"Yo Xi, it's good to do a great job! This salvo is to wake up these ignorant Chinese and let them know the power of the Imperial Navy, and any ridiculous resistance is a mantis arm blocking the car; ”

Ito held up the binoculars and observed the effect of this salvo: "Order all ships, attack freely!" ”

"Boom-"

At this time, the shells that returned fire from Laolong Island and Monk Island batteries exploded among the Japanese ships.

A solid 120mm shell hit the broadside deck of the Iwajima, smashing a 47mm rapid-fire gun into a pile of scrap metal.

And Naniwa, Akitsu Chau, two ships were also hit by artillery fire, smashing two large holes in the hull.

"Boom-"

Ito Yuhiro's body standing on the bridge of the Hashidate swayed, and the 320mm Ghana main gun specially designed to deal with the Dingyuan-class battleship on the Hashidate roared angrily.

The huge recoil shook the 4,278-ton ironclad cruiser, and the hull of the ship shook violently, translating sideways for nearly half a meter in the seawater.

"Whoa—"

The cannonball exploded on the edge of the west fort on Monk Island, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a huge flame rose up.

"Yo Xi, the Imperial fleet has begun to attack the Qing army's bay battery; Haha, in less than two hours, these pigs will run away in embarrassment! ”

Hearing the shelling, the Japanese army on the eastern front of Jinzhou shouted with joy, and Genji Yamachi also walked out of the warm landlord's house with charcoal burning and looked at the west with a smile:

"Wait for the Imperial Navy to take control of Dalian Bay, and then smash Jinzhou City into ruins directly from behind, and see how these Qing pigs can defend it?"

When He Changying came to Monk Island, the Japanese fleet had already changed its strategy and concentrated its firepower on bombarding the three batteries on Monk Island.

The ferocious artillery fire forced He Changying to stop at the foot of a hillside on the peninsula post road and pause his march.

Even though there were still three miles away from the nearest East Fort, the smoke that drifted over still stimulated everyone's throats to cough violently.

He Changying remembered in his memory that the Jiawu literature said that the smoke produced by Shimose gunpowder was slightly toxic and would make the soldiers' throats and eyes red and swollen.

However, He Changying only knew that as for how to solve it, he was not even as professional as Zuo Shangqing in the field hospital.

"Order to go back and ask Zuo Shangqing to bring two groups of field doctors over, one for Monk Island and one for Laolong Island."

He Changying ordered Xiao Liuzi to send someone to pass the order, and the anti-Japanese army also had a group of field doctors in Dalian Bay, but looking at the current situation, it is obviously not enough.

"Commander-in-chief, the Japanese army is shooting like this, and after the explosion, are there still people alive on the battery?"

Although Xiao Liuzi has followed He Changying for so long and has seen a lot of blood, the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army still scared him to the point that his face turned pale.

"With such heavy artillery fire, they will not wait on the battery to be bombed, they will hide in bunkers, and when the Japanese artillery fire has subsided, they will return to the gun position to return fire."

Huang Bojie stayed at the Monk Island Fort for a period of time and knew better about the defense methods of the Qing army's coastal defense gunners: "As long as the fort has artillery, as long as the cement concrete bunker is safe, this coastal defense artillery battle will not end easily." ”

At this time, a group of soldiers ran over on the snowy road behind, wearing the Great Red Army jacket of the Qing Army, mixed with several officers wearing handsome Western-style military uniforms and woolen army coats.

When this group of soldiers saw He Changying and the guards who were hiding under the mountain wall, they were all stunned, and then they recognized He Changying.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Xiang Shaolong, the commander of the third company of the first battalion, reports to you."

A tall officer ran up excitedly and raised his hand in salute.

Xiang Shaolong?

He Changying felt that time and space were a little confused, for this name, he was like thunder, and he had admired the name for a long time.

Qin Shi Huang's godfather!

He Changying cleaned up his inappropriate distractions, returned a military salute to Xiang Shaolong and asked, "Are you a graduate of the Martial Arts Academy?" ”

Unless you see too much of the saluting posture of the Western instructors, you can't do such a crisp and smooth military salute just with those veterans of Jiang Zikang's battalion.

"The subordinate is a graduate of the artillery department in the year of Xinmao."

Xiang Shaolong replied loudly and upright, as a Western-trained officer and a young intellectual soldier who was obsessed with the book "The Scream", he obviously accepted the environment of the anti-Japanese army, and tried his best to dilute the color that their company still belonged to the establishment of the Renzi Army.

"Well, the country now needs a man like you who is passionate and responsible, and I am proud of you! Rest here for a while, wait for the Japanese fleet's artillery fire to subside, and then go to the position. ”

"It is my glory to follow the adults to kill the enemy for the country!"

Xiang Shaolong heard He Changying's encouragement, and his eyes flashed with dazzling light.

"Order all gun emplacements, give me concentrated firepower to bombard the flagship of the Japanese army!"

On the Laolongdao Fort, Cheng Moyi saw that the Japanese warships were concentrating their firepower to attack the Monk Island Fort, and the more than 20 heavy guns of the two batteries on his side did not achieve a substantial heavy attack on the Japanese ships after bombarding for a long time, so he changed his strategy and ordered all the artillery to bombard the Qiaoli with all his might.

"Ready—"

"Put!"

"Put!"

SUDDENLY, THE ROARS ON THE OLD DRAGON ISLAND FORT CAME AND WENT, AND WITH A SOUND OF 'RELEASE', THESE HEAVY GUNS, ALL OF WHICH WERE MORE THAN 152MM CALIBER, SPEWED OUT TONGUES OF FIRE AND SHOT HOT PROJECTILES AT THE JAPANESE FLAGSHIP 7 KILOMETERS AWAY.

"Boom-"

This concentrated bombardment quickly had an effect, and in just a few successive salvos, two shells hit the Hashidate.

One of the 152mm solid armor-piercing shells hit the Cambridge of the Hashidate, smashing it into a mess, and the shattered cabin fragments screamed and sparked the metal bulkheads.

Second Lieutenant Navigator Ee Beejiro, Major Engineer Kiyojiro Ichikawa, and a herald didn't have time to lie down, and their bodies were shattered by the ejected metal pieces.

And Ito Sukehiro, Sameshima Rengui, and the captain of the Hashidate ship, Hidaka Zhuangno Cheng Osa, escaped by luck because of the timely lying down.

"Commander, Commander!"

A group of staff officers of the Japanese fleet stormed the bridge.

And the inside of the bridge was a mess, full of flesh and blood.
